GEORGIA'S CAPITOLS. Four cities have each been the official capitol of Georgia, to-wit: Augusta, ville, Milledgeville and Atlanta. The legis lature held its session for several years in Savannah, but that city, according to my recollection, was never officially proclaim ed the capitol. The first legislature under the Constitu¬ tion' of 1777 assembled in the City by the Sea. In December, 1778, Savannah was captured by the British, and the legisla¬ ture then met in Augusta* until January, 1784, when it again assembled in Savannah. In 1786 Augusta was made the capital and remained so for about ten years. It was the seat of government when President Washington visited it in 1791.—John T. Boifeuillet, in Macon News. -X Now is the time to conduct an inventory and ascertain just how much you are worth to Covington and Newton county. DESERVES KNOCKING. A New York World correspondent wants to know if Postmaster-General Burleson is to be considered second-class male matter. Can't say as to that, but from the antics he's cutting we're inclined to think he is lather shy on first-class gray matter.— Walton Tribune. Poor old Burleson. Everybody's knock¬ ing him.

(Moultrie Observer.) is The new secretary of the treasury an old newspaper man. He knows what pub¬ licity is and what it is worth. It is to be hoped that he will reorganize the publicity work of the treasury department, and spend the millions of dollars where it will get results, and, at the same time, stop the begging policy that was adopted by the S ite very able secretary. It was the one weak place in the administration of Seere iaiy McAdoo that he had a very mistaken view of advertising and how the govern¬ ment should secure it. The skinny girl says that she wants more than her stockings will hold.—Thom asville Times-Entei prise. Perhaps she meant that she wants more than she has to put in ’em. From all the evide. ee submitted to date it seems that Secretary W. G. McAdoo is the only man who is in favor of Govern¬ ment control of railways for even five years. Editor John L. Herring, of the Tifton Gazette, was recently presented with a silver loving cup by the appreciative pec-* pie of Tift cou ay. South Georgia owes much to this, gated newspaper man whose chief purpo L .o build well for the pres¬ ent and future, . .id he deserves every hon¬ or that couYi be corf erred upon him. CHIT’LIN TIME IN GEORGIA. (Walton Tribune.) It’s chitlin’ time in Georgia, and ribs back¬ bone stew, It’s chit’lin time in Georgia, and jowl and souse-meat, too; It’s chit’lin time in Georgia, from moun¬ tains to the s' a, It’s chit’lin time in Georgia—they’re good enough for mo. ’—Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Ike above poetic g e m from the gifted pen of Editor W. H. Tucker, of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, is one of his best ! productions, fvhich will, in all probability, appeal to everybody in Georgia except our friend, Editor Ernest Camp, of tire Walton Tribune, with whom we regret to differ, but “they’re good enough for me .— Covington News. Chitlin time in G*. orgia, Mary, hold your nose. Go scatter disinfectant and then turn a-loose the ho^e— Save the ribs and backbone, the cracker lings and thence Proceed to throw the chit’lins out the back door o’er the fence! We see more real pretty girls in Griffin than we do in any other city .-Griffin News and Sun. No man who has ever been to Covington could have made a remark like the above expression from the bachelor editor of the Griffin paper. _v_ “To avoid the flu,” says a western editor, “you should keep out of the crowds, and the best way to keep out of the crowds is to go a store that does not advertise?’- And the Adams, Ga., Enterprise adds: “And don’t fail to to take a whiskbroom with you—to brush the cobwebs from you when you come out. And if it be true that “a word to the wise is sufficient,” what more need be said? —Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Some day when we are feeling real mean we’re are going to write a column editorial on the merchant who is too mortal stingy to patronize his lo rial paper. Having ruined the Postal service it prob¬ aby won’t take Burleson long to put the telephone and telegraph to the bad. W al¬ ton Tribune.- He’s certainly living up to your prediction. ^ Editor W. H. Tucker , of the Columbus ‘Enquirer-Sun, has been advertising for poetic contributions. Here’s hoping that ue receives a few to take the place of the J Ip mes” he writes himself. We agree with Albany Herald that Bur¬ leson is the greatest liability the Demo¬ cratic party has. It is like millstone around the party’s neck. Valdosta Times. Foi one, we would rather have her Republican Administration than Burleson, X Girls with ugly ears cover them with lit¬ tle knots of hair, but man’s ears must stann out before the world and take what s com¬ ing to them. -Toledo Blade. So that’s why Hhey cover is it? We had the same idae. -v We observe that Editor Tucker, of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun, has begun his series of Georgia poems by printing one from the pen of Ernest Camp, of The Wal¬ ton Tribune. It is entitled “Auld Lang Syne.. ” and it is a regular “Looking Back r ward” in rhyme.-—Savannah Press. ' -.x- Editor Camp, of The Walton Tribune, says we are welcome to the chitterlings. Thanks. We knew that already, though, since severtl of our friends have sent us in several dishes during the p resent winter, and for which we thank them one and all.--Columbus Enquirer-Sun. -—X- A. S. Adams has been promoted to the position of publisher of the LaGrange Re¬ porter, with which excellent paper he has been prominently and influentially identi¬ fied for several years. The promotion was a fitting compliment to the ability of Edi¬ tor Jones, as well as a recognition of the worth of Mr. Adams. -X We believe in being loyal to the Govern¬ ment, but not to the extent of indorsing the '.the action of Secretary McAdoo in broad eastiir Government ownership literature •jTfith'out payng postage on the same. A majority of the expense pavers of America are unalterably opposed to the Government flfwaiership scheme. -----X The air mail service between New York and Chicago has been stateed by the post office department, but they seem to be us¬ ing something slower than a freight train in this part of the country.—Marietta Jour tnal. And a great deal less reliable. A r.iew postmaster general will have to be in charge of the postoffice department before ‘ he service improves very much. Bur leson is simply a dictatorial bureaucrat.— Dalton Citizen. The United States has no mail service nor postmaster general. --X- LaGrange and Newnan are making va¬ rious claims concerning the population Mid importance of those two excellent lit¬ tle cites. The Reporter avers that La Grange has a population of 25,000,which theNewnan Herald doubts, as the Govern¬ ment census of 1910 fixed LaGrange's pop¬ ulation at about 5,000. The report of the census of 1920 will be awaited with inter¬ est. While we have the utmost confidence in the Herald, Editor Ad-, is of the the Reporter is from CovingL c and we do not see how he could misrepresent the situa¬ tion. Buff Orpingtons.
